hello asshole snake man

Can you guys post your best dark souls 3 waifu creation?

I need to see what exactly is possible since all my shit looks terribad

How would a raw Corvian greatknife buffed with DMB(60fth) preform in pvp?
Also, would 20 END + a RoF+2 be enough stamina to use a corvian greatknife effectively?

>>147808724
I meant shield hand

And you know what, it was right fuck you.

>>147808409
Hey honey bunch

>>147807129
>dropped you to 50% life in one death
Yeah, but everybody used the Cling Ring so it was just 75%. In that regard Dark Souls 3 is harder.

>continued to make the game harder each time you died
Only in body form did it affect the world tendency and the game became easier per each boss you killed.

>Plus, it had complex systems like character and world tendency
World Tendency didn't work properly if you were online, character tendency is interesting but not really a fully realized game mechanic.

Good day, fellow Souls fans!

I've heard some wonderful things about the netizens here from your friendly subreddit, r/darksouls3, and I wanted to ask, if some would be willing to answer, if I can guarantee Greirat's safety (which is my favorite Souls NPC btw) if I saved our friendly community favorite onion knight in the Cathedral of the Deep, but haven't met him in Irithyll yet?

Cheers!
Praise the Sun! \(^-^)/

Yes, it did, dumbass. Being online didn't effect your tendency unless you went back to the Nexus. Because of that they could have world tendency events. Where do you think /dsg/ got the concept of events from?

>No shit, Sherlock.

The game adjusts it's difficulty if you kill bosses / black phantoms and move toward white. In White World enemies drop more healing grasses THAN NORMAL and are also easier.

None of the other games do that.

>>147809329
That means that you're deliberately manipulating the World Tendency, i.e you're making the world harder because you know you're manipulating it. It counts as much towards the difficulty as Dark Souls 2 Bonfire Ascetics and CoC do, because you have to be intentionally manipulating the World Tendency to get consistent Black Tendency or be playing the game completely blind and playing the same world over and over by using Ephemeral Eye stones and not going back to the Nexus at all.

Demon's Souls can get really hard in pure black, but unless you're consciously manipulating the world tendency, you're not going to reach it. Which is a shame, because modeling the NG+ along the model of Demon's Souls PBWT would be great.

If you're not playing sorcerer, enjoy the endgame being everythings immune to normal damage, farm a specific boss for a holy weapon or get the fuck out, mate.

The game up to that is great though.

nah, everything melts to a lv2 bbl weapon or gold rarified lv1 weapon

>>147812417
Well, enjoy sitting about waiting on them to kill the enemy thats immune to anything EXCEPT holy damage, with only very slight damage taken from any element, and then add that enemy and 3 others like it to every zone in Bitterblack.

Also Assassin is objectively the most fun class.

>>147812501

>>147812510
The armors take any elemental damage, they're just weak to holy.
Plus, if you just get yourself a mage or sorcerer in the party they can buff your weapons and things just become trivial.

I even killed the fuckers in my solo assassin run with elemental daggers.

I guess I gotta deal with a shitty Archdragon Peak.

>>147813215

Well I didn't mean the entire area was dark. The sky is black and everything else is there white like a whitish hue. It was raining again in the area before nameless. I went with ng + 7 and it got restored. Only way to do it so far.

do i need to level Luck if i want to make a epic bleed meme build

>>147813810
Go fuck yourself.

>>147813563
Pretty much an entire DS2 is a clusterfuck of way more horrible design decisions.
Reminder that ds2 bleed is pretty much an even weaker frost.

Also DS1 poise and miss animations on half of weapon classes.

Anyone on xbox wanna help me with early dancer?

Swordmaster bug got patched so now it's even harder to avoid the linear boss order

Pass is dsg

Is the Perseverance skill even useful? I feel like anyone who knows their shit will know to roll when the animation starts and when their weapon bounces off.

>>147813810
You level luck because at 40/40/40 str/dex/luck weapons with a hollow gem do more damage than refined weapons, and having hollow mainhand and offhand puts you to 40 from 30 base

Carthus rouge on a natural bleed weapon is plenty as is, luck scaling is just gravy

>>147813986
Perseverance is extremely useful because it also offers damage reduction on top of some degree of deflection. The Greathammer version is balls, though, it does a stomp, but not a damaging one like Morne's Rage or Molten Perseverance.

Is this a good sl80 havel build?

How to make frost better:

- Give us some sort of frost weapon buff
- Increase build-up speed
- Make people fat-roll for like 10-15 seconds when frostbitten

>>147814247
By itself frost is already good. It slows down stamina regen, it gives substantial defence debuff, it nerfs Estus. Its main problem is that it's nearly impossible to inflict as the only weapons with frostbite damage are shit.

I'm not learning much from Pontiff randoms anymore, I need to figure out how to make this build works against good players.

Is Wolnir's Holy Sword's weapon art similar to Morne that it grants poise and an AoE attack?

>>147814637
Yes.
But it's 3 times as slow, that's the main problem.

>>147814637
hell no
no poise, no damage absorption, nothing

>>147810620
No but I get similar AR with a quality build. I've found it falls of in PVE against heavily armored mobs, but against 90% you're good.

Plus fire clutch ring is probably worth it with all that base fire damage at 40/40.

You'll want a faster weapon for PVP though.

Darkmoon, however, gets worse if you get summoned, the host starts acting cocky and rushes into a crowd of enemies like an idiot because that's where the invader is (instead of waiting, pulling or smth) assuming that he cannot get killed in two seconds.
Or he dies when I spawn :^(

But it was good. It was a good compromise between having the durability matter and Dark Souls 1 / Demon's Souls system of it being a huge bother to repair shit constantly.

Yes they did. Both great deep souls and edge got cast speed increase. Their problem is a projectile speed and lack of hyperarmor on dark edge.

The awful cast speed of dark edge and the shitty tracking speed of affinity and great deep soul make me so fucking mad. Can't even wear down people's stamina as they only need to roll once.

>>147816051
Deep Soul travels faster than it used to, same for Gnaw.

>>147816051
Dark edge has the shittiest casting speed out of all spells in the game. Even with hyperarmor, they can still r1 you and roll away.

Tried with sage ring +2 and maxxed out dexterity and timed it correctly. Still ponderously slow.

At least in Dark Souls 2 you can break someone's equipment, which is always very fun to do. And in that game you actually have to worry about durability, forcing you to either have a backup-weapon, repair-powder or run through the level. I would prefer this, if they increased durability just a little bit so it isn't completely ridiculous.
I hate how it is a useless stat in this game. In Dark Souls 2 you could even destroy rings, which can be a good choice if your enemy kinda needs the Third Dragon Ring.

>>147816156
Not fast enough then. Gnaw has better tracking but does negative damage.

Also tried catching people with it when they roll onto me but it just flies straight above them.

>>147816119
Dark edge needs HA or an staff with HA. affinity needs to last longer, 2 rolls and they fade out.
great deep soul is fine in this patch.
>wear down people's stamina
Hexes really needs something that compensates their shit dmg

>Wolnir just says fuck it and summons 3 invincible carthus knights at the end of the fight
FUCK THIS GIANT NIGGER'S ASSHOLE.

>>147816301
Gnaw casts about as fast I think but also fulfills a different purpose.

Lifehunt scythe shouldn't even be in the game desu. Me and a friend tested it at 60/60 against a naked opponent with dark clutch and both miracle rings and it did around 350 dmg. Though you can cast it with a talisman that has hyperarmor to finish off a charging opponent. Makes the lifesteal pointless in that scenario though.

Hey /dsg/, general question for y'all

How do you come up with a build for new characters? I've always played relatively similar characters in every Souls game and I wanna diversify a li'l bit. What factors do you take into account when making a new build?

>>147813356

>great deep soul is fine in this patch

Below average damage and very slow tracking, can't even throw it in someone's face when they roll towards you as it flies above them.

No reason to use it even to set up a third spell as it's stamina consumption is too big for it to be safe.

>>147817456
20 endurance, 45/45 int/fai

Using sage ring +2, bellowing dragoncrest, young dragon, witch's ring

Dark clutch doesn't seem to work in PVP, ring of favor +2 gives only enough stamina for one extra spell and still goes into negative so I'd rather take the extra damage.

Crystal Hail does 200 damage at 45 int with both sorcery rings.

What I run is affinity, great deep soul, dark edge, great chaos fireball, black flame. Only use I have for dark edge is to set up a black flame if they roll onto me or to punish chuggers. Sometimes hit naive players who are behind me if latency allows the hitbox there to work.

>>147817694

Really don't feel like farming for souls/chunks all over again for a new build.

30/30/60 if you want to cast down the heretics as a faithful cleric

My personal choice is Paladin. I like to cast miracles while shaking my foe's ground with thunderous weapons.

>>147826351
Because things are balanced differently in pvp and pve.

>>147826351
It works for PVE.

20SL or 25SL for twink?

>>147826397
But I thought this was supposed to be a "PVE focused game" with PvP an afterthought?

Don't ask me about From's motives.

I disagree, I'm sure most people wouldn't mind an easier way to get slabs, specially coloured one, and I'm sure everyone who knew how to dupped pure bladestones when they could. That's defending something that adds nothing to the game, like gem farming in 3.
Specially since you can't even trade those.

Look, I get that trying to make all the games take place in the same universe is a really cool idea, but it doesn't work on a fundamental level.
>why isn't there any mention of hollows in demon's souls or bloodborne
>why isn't the old one mentioned in any of the dark souls games
>why is no one from dark souls mentioned in demon's souls or bloodborne? did everyone just forget? that seems like a pretty dumb cop out to make this theory work
>why do magic and miricles play by different rules from demon's souls to dark souls to bloodborne
>why does dying and reviving again play by different rules in each universe
>whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyy
I don't know why the very notion of this pisses me off as much as it does but it just does.

Typical Ds3 pre-teens

>>147826203
I'm 130.

It's for a pyro with 40 att.

>>147826203
i'm 125 because of yoel meta

>>147826836
Because each world has its set of rules.

From Software likes to recycle different themes for characters, places and concepts, that's why they're very similar.

For example, Champion Gundyr's mask is clearly the Burger King mask from Demon's Souls and the character's description mentions that he was a king, but it's not *Doran*, merely meant to evoke memories of him and kinda tease you about a possibility.

>>147827025
ganking is stronger, twinking isn't. Twinking is still very possible though

when can we go back to ds2

>>147826563
It's PvE focused. That's why the ring works in PvE, not in PvP.

Anyone who tells you otherwise is delusional.

autism

How comparable was Lords of the Fallen to this series?

>>147827176
worse than dark souls 2

>>147827176
New low. It's afwul

>>147826849
Blocking out your character names is the true autism here.

>>147827323
I know.

>>147827176
Just look up some gameplay footage, combat looks awful compared to soulsborne games.

I think this guy might literally be retarded. His phantom understood that I was friendly but died to an enemy. I've walked over to him about a dozen times, gestured with "beckon" "and "point forward" a fair amount of times and placed Warmth right on his face. He won't move.

This is the first time I'm actually considering having Friendly Fred murder someone.
